Mungap, or stationery chests, were used in master bedrooms or guestrooms to display stationery or interior objects and store important documents or other valuables. This chest contains a secret storage space, a double-tier drawer placed at the middle tier, which can only be accessed by removing the lower drawer, and an upper drawer which can be opened by pushing its outer bottom.
